When I first heard this, I LOVED it. Actually before a few days ago, it was still in my top ten. But my most recent listen proved to be too much. Still, this album is really interesting. It's very much black metal - but not traditionally. It's really sludgy, too. Could it be... *gasp*... blackened sludge?!
They creep in a lot of melody, as well. Not so much where it becomes expected, but, you know. It's welcomed
